This year, we’ve partnered with Canada Helps as our fundraising solution provider. When a donation is made, the donor has an option to leave a message to us. The sheer volume of love and support we’ve been getting since November has been very moving to say the least. It is a constant reminder that The Magic of Christmas is the sum of the community.

We would like to share a few of them to everyone.

“This has been a tough year with COVID-19 and the collapse of the economy. Most vulnerable are the children. Please accept this donation and put a smile to those many faces. We will all pull through this, together.” – Ian

“Wishing you a joyous and blessed Merry Christmas! Thank you for this wonderful charity and to all your gracious volunteers who help bring hope, love, joy & peace to our neighbors and friends in this beautiful city, Calgary. May the spirit of giving, inspire many to do so and in return reap the joy one feels. God bless.” – Debra

“I would personally like to commend the volunteers at The Magic of Christmas. Our organization was in need of assistance to provide gifts for the children our recipients of food hampers. This was the first year we were unable to provide this service and when I contacted your organization you filled our void. We are so appreciative of your assistance and we would like to wish all of you a safe and joyous Christmas and all the best in 2021.” – The Knights of Columbus St. James Council

“Last year we volunteered with The Magic of Christmas for the first time. It was such a wonderful experience and it opened our eyes to how very special this holiday season community event is to those who are less fortunate. We are not able to volunteer this year due to Covid 19 but we would like to contribute for 2020. Thank you for all that you do to help those families in need at Christmas.” – Frank & Anne

“Hello! For over 25 years, our family has held an annual Christmas party. However, as no surprise – not this year. So instead, we sent a message to our guests, letting them know that in lieu of our party and the money we would have put towards the preparation and fun, we decided to make a donation to your wonderful organization and asked our friends and family to support join us. We are humbled and excited to be able to make this donation to you. Merry Christmas and God bless all of you and all that you do. ” – Bruce & Angela

“Sulphur Experts understand how important family is and that during this uncertain time, spirits may be low for some. We would like to help out families that need a morale boost at this time of year and we hope this donation will help to make the season brighter! Merry Christmas from our Management and staff” – Sulphur Experts Inc.

“Over the month of December, my small group and I have been raising money for The Magic of Christmas, hoping that in these dark times, we could shine a little light. Merry Christmas! ” – YYC Girls Bible Study

“The concept of our shop is to support local businesses through curating gift boxes – and giving back to our community. We’ve been setting aside 5% of our proceeds and are THRILLED to be making our first donation as we’ve only been open for two months. Calgary has been amazing to us – amd we are excited to pay it forward!” – YYC Collective
